Edition one!


Today's Thursday Thirteen will be about the New Year's Resolutions I would make...if I made New Years Resolutions....which I don't....but I guess if I am writing them..I am kind of making them too aren't I?...now ... if you have made it through that muddle....

1. SPEND MORE TIME WITH GOD...more time reading my Bible and praying....I miss the amount of time I used to spend in God's word....

2. SPEND MORE TIME WITH MY TEENS...they are teens and don't REALLY want to hang out with me...but we only have Brandy a max. of another 7months..and Bree is 15...so they can just suck it up and hang out with the old lady....LOL!

3. Have some me time with Kendal before we are expecting the next baby. We haven't had any since Jeremy arrived on the scene....of course.....Kendal and I spending time together could end up with Jeremy having a sister sooner then we want.....

4. Play Guitar much more then I have the last two years...I am missing my music.

5. Sing more often. Something I haven't done quite as much the last couple of years....

6. Get back into painting. I have a whole series in my head...

7. Lose about 70 lbs....:) Yeah...I am sure that one will happen.....

8. Try to post a blog a day for a year....

9. Get my photographs taken care of....we have tons...and they are EVERYWHERE and need to be put in books, or on walls or sent to people...ect.....

10. Excercise....nuff said.

11. Keep my house cleaner? Yeah...right....put that one in behind lose 70 lbs.....

12. Finnish writing my kids book....Kendal keeps bugging me...but a girl only has so much time after all that excercising and keeping the house clean.....

13. AND big final thirteen...ok...has to be good....hmmmm....keep my house clean..

oh.. I said that already....

(LOL!) ok...I just asked my youngest daughter what it should be.....and ....she said "Keep your house clean!" I rest my case. I guess it will have to be #11 and #13!

Don't forget to read my post below about May.....

May 2007

A very tired mommy with Jeremy...

May all of a sudden seemed very quiet to me after the first several months of Jeremy's arrival...With Talon gone, the house seemed very quiet...but it was also nice...We were able to start doing some things again, and were able to visit with friends and hang out at places....(Like my favorite ice cream store in the world...(Dessart) Our friends Jason and Brenda even brought us out for dinner to an East Indian Restaraunt...(one of my fav kinds of foods....)


Jeremy's favorite toy... a red bird...

We discovered by accident one day that Jeremy was a book fanatic....already at 4.5 months. We were in a bookstore at the mall...and he just went nuts..When we left he had his first book, and he never put it down. He even went through a cookbook with me one day for half an hour because he liked the pics of the food.! At one year old- today...he still loves his books best. He turns pages and looks at them by himself...





By now, Talon was a big boy of around 7 months old...we still spent time with him a couple of days a week, but now I was able to relax more when he was around, and have some fun with him...Compared to Jeremy he was huge....He was at the top of his growth scale, while Jeremy was at the very bottom of his....LOL! I think Jeremy was at a whopping 13 lbs at 4 months while Talon was over 20 lbs at 7 months. It was like having the biggest and smallest at the same house!
If this month had a difficult point...it was adjusting to the idea, that our best friend Jeremy (above) had been gone for one year this month as of the fourth of May....
(Jeremy is the guy we named our son after.) If you would like to read some of my memories of Jeremy...Click HERE
One of the fun things we do every May is go to the Cathedral Arts Festival...We have done it every year since we moved to Regina. There are all kinds of buskers, tables set up, food (how can you not like something when food is involved...) and entertainment. Best of all...it is FREE!!!

This year we had a special treat, as the girls met someone famous....

Lacy off of Corner Gas!!!


Jeremy enjoys some entertainment
